PREFACE. 

The principal object of this book, which, under its 
present increased and revised form, reaches the sixth 
edition, is to give American tourists reliable information 
about the beautiful Island of Cuba, so appropriately sur- 
named the Pearl of the Antilles. Spots having an histo- 
rical interest are scrupulously depicted ; ancient cities 
like Havana, Matanzas, Cardenas, Cienfuegos, Santiago, 
etc., are the object of special and elaborate descriptions. 

The author has thought fit and proper that in this 
memorable year, which marks the close of the fourth 
century of the discovery of America by Christopher 
Columbus, to add to this book a portrait with a brief 
historical sketch of the genius who has given, through 
perseverance and innumerable sufferings of all descrip- 
tion, a continent to the human race During the last five 
years, the literary talent of our generation has done 
wonders to unearth from the ancient and dusty parch- 
ments hidden in the libraries and museums of the old 
world, everything of interest relating to the discovery 
of America. These combined literary efforts have been 
embodied in the present historical and biographical 
sketch of Christopher Columbus, and it may not be pre- 



VI CUBA ILLUSTRATED. 

sumptuous on our part to hint that these pages will not 
only be read with pleasure by the present generation, but 
may eventually be of some help to those historians of the 
future who will recount the high deeds of Columbus on 
the occasion of the fifth century of the discovery of 
America, and recall the prowess of the imperishable 
Latin race for its unselfish spread of civilization. 

In rearanging this work, and in order to make it accu- 
rate in all of its details and valuable to tourists, new illus- 
trations have been added. 

The Anglo-Spanish vocabulary has been carefully re- 
vised, and notable additions have been made to it ; all 
of which leads me to think that the present edition will 
be of great assistance to those travelers who are unac- 
quainted with the beautiful Spanish language. 

Inquiries upon any subject treated in this work will 
be cheerfully answered by addressing

CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS. 



THE DISCOVERY OF AMERICA. 



According to the most reliable historians Columbus 
was born in Genoa, Italy. In his tenderest years he was 
bereft of both father and mother, and left to his own re- 
sources, having no friend, nt) guardian to advise him or 
to whom he could look for help and support. 

Columbus passed his younger days in G-enoa, a sea- 
port surrounded by high mountains and bearing the 
same name as that of the city of his birth. 



2 CUBA ILLUSTRATED. 

During his youth, he would pass at play many hours 
of the day on the sea shore, listening with the curiosity 
of his age to the stories of travels recounted by the 
sailors. Christopher Columbus was of fair complexion, 
with curly red hair and very bright, fiery eyes. 

Oftentimes he would be found alone, walking silently 
on the beach, contemplating the inlinite vastness of the 
ocean and listening to the murmur of the waves. Who 
can tell if at that very time Columbus did not entertain 
already the idea of circumnavigating the globe ? 

In his youth he made long sea voyages. His courage 
and agility gained for him the admiration of his supe- 
riors. It was at the beginning of his career as a sailor 
that he visited Greece, the shores of Africa, England, and 
that his inclination for adventures made him undertake 
a trip to Iceland, surrounded by the icy waters of the 
Arctic seas Old sailors entertained him of the stories of 
ancient mariners who had been carried by south-eastern 
winds and had seen immense stretches of rich lands, 
which they had named country of the vine, and which 
according to their narration were inhabitated 

Those stories preoccupied his mind ; they spurred his 
desires and aspirations, and he doubted sometimes 
whether they would be ever satisfied or realized. In 
his dreams he thought he saw an enchanted nymph, clad 
in brilliant garments, holding in her hand exotical 
flowers, and crowned with flowers no less beautiful and 
rare. He would bow to the charming apparition, who 
would tell him in soft musical tones : " Leave, and go 
far ! Yery far ! beyond the seas ! discover a IN'ew World ! 



CUBA ILLUSTRATED. 3 

When thou hast reached that strange land, preach the re- 
ligion of Peace and not that of War ! '' 

When he won Id awaken from those dreams, he would 
study with increased ardor the maps of the lands and the 
charts of the seas. He would refuse to take part in the 
amusements of his companions, in order to devote all 
his time to his studies. 

In those days men in general believed that the earth 
was a flat disc. Few among the learned men believed in 
the Pythagorean doctrines, which had been enunciated 
before Jesus Christ. No more credence was given to 
Ptolemy who declared in Alexandria, one hundred and 
forty years after Christ, that the earth had the form of 
a ball. 

Columbus who was studying incessantly this impor- 
tant question, finally mastered the trustworthiness of 
those assertions. He had by that time acquired a 
thorough knowledge of navigation, and moreover he was 
full of life and valor, and his anxiety to travel west was 
on the increase. 

He believed that by following a western ward course 
he would reach India directly ; but divers voyages un- 
dertaken in the western zones without any tangible suc- 
cess had Anally dampened his ardor, inasmuch as he was 
short of resources for such costly undertakings. 

After marrying in one of the most illustrious Italian 
families, he settled in the Portuguese island of Porto 
Santo. One day he accidentally discovered a few maps 
which had been left by his great grandfather. The study 
of those maps confirmed him in the correctness of his ideas 



4 CUBA ILLUSTRATED. 

while it endowed the stories he had heard about Ice- 
land and the fabulous country of the vine, a certain 
degree of truthfulnes. 

From that instant Columbus was persuaded of the 
possibility of finding his way to a new continent. The 
dreams of his youth, the desires and the ardor of the past, 
were again awakened in the full grown man, and he 
could not remain any longer in the island of Forto Santo. 

Accompanied by his wife and his son, he left for Lis- 
bon, in order to ask from the King of Fortugal the 
necessary means to carry out his gigantic undertaking. 
The King was loth to believe in his plans, and played 
false with the man's noble aspirations. 

Upon the death of his wife, which occurred during 
his sojourn in Lisbon, Columbus undertook on foot the 
voyage to Spain. Here Frovidence, who had marked 
him for a glorious destiny, was manifestly instrumental 
in changing the course of the eventful life of the great 
discoverer. 

After a day of fatiguing march on the highways, 
father and son came by a monastery. The son, feeble 
and footsore, asked his father with great persistency to 
knock at the door and beg for a night's hospitality from 
the monks. His son's condition, who was almost dying 
with the fatigue of the long march, had the better of his 
pride, and Columbus knocked at the door of the 
monastery. 

The monks gave a friendly greeting to the man pale 
with hunger and fatigue and to the delicate and worn-out 
son. When both had been revived with food and rest, 



CUBA ILLDSTEATED. 



the Father Superior questioned them upon the object of 
their voyage. Columbus told his story, and was listened 
to attentively by the Superior, who was struck by his 
language and the magnitude of his ideas. Thereupon he 
called in his two friends, one, Hernandez, a learned 
doctor in medicine, and the other, Yalazco, an intrepid 
and wise sailor. It was thus, in a small room of the 
monastery of La Kabida, that Columbus explained his 
plans to those learned men. 

When he got through with his demonstration, Supe- 
i-ior Perez exclaimed with enthusiasm : " Your project 
will be realized, and Spain will share with you the honor 
and glory of this great enterprise ! '' 

It was then decided that Columbus should go to the 
Court of King Ferdinand, with a letter of recommenda- 
tion to the father-confessor of the Queen. At that epoch 
the King with his spouse. Dona Isabella, was in the camp 
before the city of Granada, where the Moors were in- 
trenched in this their last foothold in Spain after 
an occupation of seven hundred years. The father- 
confessor, who was a friend of Superior Perez, list- 
ened with interest to Columbus' plans; however, he 
could do no better than to advise him to be patient. 
Once the war ended, there would be some favorable 
chances to win the sovereigns to his project. Once more, 
the poor and weak had to wait for the rich and power- 
ful. 

Weak and discouraged he visited several states, and 
Unally he had made up his mind to leave for France, 
where he had had promises of ships, when Superior 



6 CUBA ILLUSTRATED. 

Perez decided to make a last effort. He saddled his mule 
and went to the camp in order to speak in person to the 
Queen, who was at last persuaded. 

Columbus was called to the court, at the very time^ 
thanks to good fortune, the war was ending. Boab- 
dil, the last King of the Moors had to leave the beauti- 
ful castle of Alhambra, and with broken heart had to 
surrender to the victors the keys of Granada. 

The Sovereigns where now in a position to grant 
Columbus the necessary means for the enterprise. This 
had for consequence to give him renewed energy, and 
the audacious mariner seeked an audience from the 
King and Queen. He unfolded his plans with great en- 
thusiasm. The Queen was under the impression that 
Columbus intended to preach the christian faith ; but 
the King, who was of a suspicious character, refused to 
accept the propositions of Columbus. '' You want to be 
Admiral and Vice-Eoy of the countries you discover,'^ 
said the King angrily, ''to this, assuredly, I shall never 
consent." 

However, Columbus was inflexible in his just de- 
mands, and again left court with the intention of going 
to France. But the Queen who had iinally succeeded to 
overcome the objections of her spouse prevented Colum- 
bus' departure, x^nd at last the sun of good fortune 
shone radiantly upon the man who had passed through 
tlie bitter experience of a life of incessant disappoint- 
ments. 

Ferdinand acceeded to all the demands of Columbus, 
and the Queen assuaged his paternal anxiety regarding 



CUBA ILLUSTRATED. i 

his son, which he had to leave in Spain, by assuring 
him that she would create him a page in the suite of her 
own son. "I shall do all in my power to help you in 
this great undertaking," said the Queen, " and I will sell 
my jewels in order to equip the ships you need ! '' 

It was on the 3d of August, 1492, that this extraor- 
dinary man sailed from the port of Palos with his small 
crafts, and directed the little squadron towards unknown 
lands. Columbus had waited eighteen years for this 
propitious event, sorrow and misery had already whiten- 
ed his hair, but his energy and faith were still unshaken, 
while his heart was full of hope. 

He sailed upon the caravel Scvnta Maria, while the 
Nina and Pinta were respectively commanded by the 
brothers Pinzon. When they had lost sight of the Ca- 
nary islands, surrounded by the immensity of the Atlantic 
ocean, the enthusiasm of the sailors was somewhat 
dampened. A whole month had already passed, and 
the caravels were still in the midst of the ocean with- 
out the least sign of land. It was at that period of the 
voyage that his companions began to murmur, and wanted 
Columbus to return to Spain. 

It was with humility that the Admiral prayed his 
rebellious companions to have patience, and exhorted 
them to perseverance. " Follow me a little while longer," 
said Columbus, " and we shall reach the end of our joui-- 
" ney. Kemember that plants from an unknown clime 
'* as well as corpses of a strange race have been carried 
" by the waves upon the shores of the Canary islands ; 
" consequently, there must exist in the West, which 



CUBA ILLUSTRATED. 




CUBA ILLUSTRATED. 9 

"is the course we follow, a land yet unknown to us. 
*' Learned men, among them Martino de Behain, of Nur- 
'* emberg, and the Italian Toscanelli, are of opinion that 
" in following a western course, unknown lands must be 
" discovered." 

" Yerj well," answered the sailors, " we shall follow 
" thee for a few days longer ; but if after that respite the 
" desired land is not reached, we shall exact from thee to 
'' return to Spain." 

A few days passed away, and notwithstanding 
that Columbus was fully convinced the little squadron 
was nearing land, no sign of it was yet perceptible, 
and despair was hourly on the increase among the 
crews. 

However, Columbus remained undaunted and firm as 
the rock before his mutinous companions. 

The evening of the 11th of October was already clad 
in darkness, and the Admiral, who had consulted his maps 
all day, was then pacing the deck in a pensive mood and 
scrutinizing the horizon with anxiety. While thus en- 
gaged he saw a light which appeared and disappeared at 
intervals. Columbus communicated his discovery to two 
of his sailors, who also perceived the light, but did not 
attach any great importance to the fact. 

This luminous apparition, however, filled the Admiral 
with new hopes ; again concentrating his sight in the 
direction where the light had shone, his heart palpitated 
with stronger energy. He thought the morrow might 
reveal the land so much desired. Wakeful nights 
had exhausted his strength, and towards morning he sue-

Climbed to sleep. It was then that the goddess of his 
youth again appeared to hira in his slumber. The beau- 
tiful fairy, crowned with exotic flowers as of yore, bent 
towards him, and while touching liis forehead, exclaimed : 
" Thy golden and ideal dream, which thou hast pursued 
" over the deep sea is at last realized. Thou art near the 
'' :N^ew World ! " 

At that very instant, the first rays of the rising sun 
were reflected upon the water, and the cry of " Land ! 
Land ! " was heard. The happy tiding came from tUe 
Pinta, from whose deck the sailor Eodrigo de Triana had 
first seen the land. 

As if blinded by lightening, Columbus awoke from 
his sleep. There could not be any illusion about the dis- 
covery, for before him could be seen a beautiful green 
isle. The naked eye could already distinguish clusters 
of trees as well as human beings of a dark color. Later 
on, birds with brilliant plumage were flying and singing 
over the decks of the caravels, as if to bid " Welcome '^ 
to the visitors of the New World. Columbus fell upon 
his knees to thank the Almighty, while his sailors pressed 
around him to beg his pardon for their incredulity. 

A short time afterwards, Columbus ordered the an- 
chors to be thrown and the boats lowered. Dressed in 
his costume of Admiral, he stepped on the first boat, and 
in a few minutes he landed with his men upon the shore, 
which presented an admirable spectable on account of 
the beautiful plants which covered it in abundance. 

When he landed, Columbus planted the Spanish flag, 
thus taking possession of the newly discovered land — 



CUBA ILLUSTRATED. 11 

which he named San Salvador, and later on Guanahani — 
in the names of his sovereigns. 

His companions, who had immediately followed him 
on shore, kissed the earth and cried with joy. They 
erected a cross as a sign that the christian faith was to be 
preached to the human beings who inhabitated this 
strange land. The Indians, who were of a copper color, 
with a mild physionomy and beautiful eyes, at first were 
timid and kept at a distance, while admiring apparently 
the white men, whom they saw for the lirst time. Gra- 
dually they lost their shyness and came nearer the 
Spaniards. Columbus received them with great amiable- 
ness, and ordered his companions to treat them with equal 
consideration. 

In this manner, pleasant relations were established 
between the Indians and the Spaniards, and the sojourn 
of the worn-out sailors in the enchanted island was thus 
made agreeable while resting from the fatigue of a long 
sea voyage. 

However, with Columbus' insatiable activity, their 
rest was of short duration. Shortly after this first land- 
ing, they set sail again on their mission of discovery. At 
the expiration of two months they had landed in several 
islands, and visited various savage tribes. Columbus was 
yet of the opinion that those islands formed part of the 
group of India. Having discovered them while sailing 
West, he called them the West Indies, a designation 
which they have borne to these days. 

At Christmas of the year 1492, the expedition met 
with a great misfortune. At sundown, after having 



12 CUBA ILLDSTKATEI). 

given the pilot liis instructions and recommended him 
great carefulness, Columbus went to his cabin to take 
a much needed rest. The pilot disobeyed the precise 
orders of the Admiral, and the consequence was the 
loss of the caravel Santa Maria^ who struck the rocks 
near the island of Cuba. In this circumstance, the pres- 
ence of mind and the coolness of Columbus were remark- 
able ; it was due to him that the lives of the whole crew 
were saved, but the caravel was a total wreck. 

It was after this accident that Columbus, with a few 
of his companions — the majority remaining in the New 
World — sailed back to Spain in the Nina. 

The return trip was full of hardships ; heavy weather 
prevailed most of the time. Notwithstanding, they 
iinally arrived safely in Spain, and on the 4th of March 
landed at the port of Palos, which had seen, seven 
months previously, the departure of the expedition amidst 
the mockeries of many. 

The contrast between the reception and departure 
conld not have been greater ; for the ovation granted 
Columbus could not have been more enthusiastic. The 
Indians which the Admiral had taken along with him on 
his return trip to Europe had the effect of creating con- 
siderable curiosity. Their copper color, and their queerly 
painted face, the earrings which ornamented their nose 
and ears had the effect of astonishing the spectators. 
Following the Indians were men carrying birds of varie- 
gated plumage ; these in turn were followed by sailors 
leading animals which had never been seen before in 
Europe, while others disembarked with rare plants from 



CUBA ILLUSTRATED. 13 

the New World. This part of the procession was closed 
by other sailors carrying large vases with rings of gold, 
which had been secured from the Indians in exchange 
for some trinkets. The profusion of the objects thus 
landed, gave an adequate idea of the richness of the 
foreign land just discovered. 

Then came Christopher Columbus seated upon a 
magnificent steed. His stately and imposing bearing ; 
the softness of his great blue eyes, into which determi- 
nation was plainly readable, made of the famous discov- 
erer a picture of intrepidity allied to greatness. Like a 
victorious king, he was worthy of being seen ; and like a 
victorious king he was acclaimed. 

Ferdinand and Isabella had a platform erected in one 
of the squares of Barcelona. It was there, seated upon a 
throne richly ornamented, that they awaited the arrival 
of the courageous sailor. 

On his coming before the throne, the raonarchs rose 
and came forward to meet him. Columbus made a move- 
ment as if to kneel, but he was prevented from doing so, 
and the sovereigns invited him to a seat at their side. 
This w^as a most extraordinary distinction, unknown to 
the etiquette of the Spanish court. 

Columbus began by recounting the various incidents 
of his voyage. He was listened to with great interest by 
all, as he enumerated the great advantages the King and 
Spain would derive from the immense natural resources 
of the countries he had discovered. 

All knelt, and with tears of joy, began to sing a hymn 
of thanks to the Almighty, who had chosen Columbus as 



14 CUBA ILLUSTRATED. 

the worthy instrument for the. accomplishment of so 
great deeds. 

Thereafter, King Ferdinand reaffirmed Columbus' 
privileges to the twelfth portion of all royal rights ; he 
also conferred upon him and his descendants the per- 
petual title of Admiral for West Indies ; he granted him 
an escutcheon bearing the royal arms of Castille and Leon 
with this inscription : " For Castille and Leon, Columbus 
discovered a New^ World ! " 

While the honors thus bestowed on Columbus were 
of a nature to gratify the pride of the mariner, he experi- 
enced great satisfaction on the other hand in finding 
that his son Diego had made marked progress both phy- 
sically and mentally, and promised to be an object of 
just pride to his family. 

In the meantime, the good fortune of Columbus began 
to excite envy among the courtiers, they were intriguing 
to deprive him of his laurels. 

At a grand feast, given by the High Cardinal of 
Spain in honor of Colombus, some of the courtiers — se- 
cretly at first, but openly later on — began to make sport 
of the distinctions and honors showered upon the Admi- 
ral. " What has he accomplished that is so very mar- 
velous?'' said one of them, "if the King had given me 
the necessary ships with the same equipment, I could 
have discovered the New World easy enough ! " 

" Same with me ! Same with me ! " exclaimed the 
other envious courtiers. 

Columbus remained quiet under these jealous taunts, 
and gave the order to a domestic to bring him an egg. 



CUBA. ILLUSTRATED. 15 

When the domestic had brought him the desired article, 
he said with great coolness : " Who, among of yon, 
" gentlemen, can make this egs; stand upon one of its 
^'ends?" The courtiers, one after the other, tried the 
experiment unsuccessfully. Then Columbus took the 
egg, and by a gentle knock depressed one of its extreme- 
ties so as to make it stand upright, and in this manner 
solved the problem apparently so difficult. 

Undaunted, the courtiers exclaimed : " But this we 
^' also can do ! " 

" Undoubtedly, gentlemen ! " answered Columbus, 
*' but not before I showed you how to go to work at it. 
" The same thing with the discovery of the J^esv World ; 
*' you know now how to proceed since I have shown you 
*' how it was done ! " 

Columbus' second expedition. 

On the 25th of September, 1493, Columbus set sails 
on his second expedition to what is now known as the 
West Indies. Howsoever brilliant and enthusiastic the 
reception that greeted Columbus at Barcelona on his re- 
turn in the sunny resplendence of the spring of the year, 
the occasion of his second departure was made no less 
brilliant and enthusiastic, although it took place under 
an autumnal sun. 

On this occasion the vessels did not leave from the 
little port of Palos, but from the grand bay of Cadiz. 
The expedition, as formerly, was not restricted to but 
three caravels; on the contrary, the Yice-Roy was 



16 CUBA ILLUSTRATED. 

at the head of a majestic fleet, fullj equipped in 
order to strenghten the colonies already established and 
enable its commander to proceed to new discoveries. 

The approaches to the port were crowded by the 
naultitude that had come from all quarters. The spec- 
tacle presented by the variety of costumes of this great 
affluence was not less remarkable than the diversity of 
the contingent that forced its way through it to reach 
the vessels upon which they were assigned. Here could 
be seen a scion of a noble family, dressed in his most 
brilliant costume, winding his way through the great and 
cheering crowd, while a little further back, priests and 
monks, with ascetic faces and austere mien, wrapped in 
the sombre vestments of their orders, were no less anxious 
to reach the deck of their respective ships. 

Then last, came Columbus. All eyes were set upon 
this hero of great physical stature, who, accompanied by 
his son Diego, trended his way to the shore amidst the 
acclamations of the multitude. 

At last father and son parted ; the latter to resume his 
functions at the court, the former to give the signal of 
departure for new perils and privations, more discoveries 
and glory. 

In the course of this expedition, and of several others 
undertaken by Columbus, he discovered many more 
islands and founded numerous colonies. At last, entering 
the mouth of the Orinoco, he discovered the main- 
land of the new continent. The glory of this discovery 
is due to him ; but he was shorn of the so well-earned 
honor of giving his name to the New World. This 



CUBA ILLUSTRATED. IT 

honor was bestowed upon an Italian named America 
V^espucci, who had explored the regions of Brazil. 

The last years of Columbus were years of bitter suf- 
fering and great affliction. Death was already claiming 
this noble heart, who was bleeding at the spoliations to 
which the peaceable indigenous inhabitants of America 
were the victims on the part of the Spaniards. In their 
anxiety to accumulate gold, the Spaniards were forgetting 
they were dealing with human beings like themselves ; 
consequently, the poor Indians were treated with the 
utmost cruelty when they manifested the least reluctance 
in parting with their riches. Even the priests, who had 
been specially sent to the West Indies to evangelize the 
aborigenes, behaved in the most rapacious manner. Far 
from preaching the religion of peace and good-will, they 
would resort to extreme measures of physical coercion to 
force the natives to receive the baptismal rites. Discon- 
tentment was on the increase. Repeated uprisings were 
the natural consequences of proceedings so unfair and 
inhuman. 

Columbus suffered greatly because of so shameful 
conduct on the part of his companions. The very noble- 
ness of his heart made him the natural protector of the 
persecuted. He punished the offenders severely, and with- 
out distinction. Birth or position could not shield the 
culprit or prevent Columbus from exercising impartially 
the attributes of justice. This had for effect to exas- 
perate the rapacious nobles and the cruel priests. They 
conspired together and resolved the ruin of Columbus 
by all possible means. It was with this object in view 
that they secretly dispatched a vessel to Spain, with an 



18 CUBA ILLUSTRATED. 

emissary on board who had the mission of proffering 
before the King charges against Cohimbus. 

Ferdinand, who had only as a last resort granted 
Columbus a twelfth of the royal rights upon the new 
domains, was rather well disposed to lend credence to the 
infamous charges made against his Yice-Koy. 

He ordered a hidalgo by the name of Bobadilla— a 
man known for his unscrnpnlousness — to sail for the 
West Indies, with the special mission of bringing Col- 
umbus back to Europe. This miserable instrument of a 
cowardly conspiracy accepted the mission with alacrity 
and discharged it with infamy. 

Once in West Indies, he ordered the great navigator 
to be placed in irons, and had him conveyed to the ship 
like a common malefactor. 

What a fall for a man who so recently had had the 
greatest honors bestowed npon him ; what hnmiliafcion 
for so illustrious a personage to be treated so contemp- 
tuously at a sudden. The thought that he was innocent 
and the victim of envy, and the consciousness of having 
discharged his duties with impartiality, sustained him in 
this great affliction. 

The conduct of captain Andres Martin, to whom had 
been entrusted the command of the ship that brought 
Columbus back to Europe, was of great contrast with 
that of the miserable Bobadilla. The moment he raised 
anchor in the port of Santo Domingo, he approached the 
noble prisoner with great respect, and asked him to give 
Mm his hands in order to free him from the chains that 
were cutting his flesh.

" I thank jon for jour offer," answered Columbus, 
*' the King has sent me word in writing to submit to all 
^' the orders of Bobadilla ; I will carry these chains until 
^^ Ferdinand relieves me of them, and even until death 
'' if I should be called away sooner. They will bear tes- 
*' timony of Spain's ingratitude, and of the manner she 
'' rewards the services of a man she recently raised so 
" proeminently." 

When the vessel reached the port of Cadiz, Columbus 
vras conveyed to the shore like a common criminal. The 
indignation of the people, who held Columbus in great 
esteem, knew no bounds. Every Spaniard, imbued with 
a sentiment of justice, felt for the noble man's ill-treat- 
ment, and murmurs of anger could be heard against the 
Regent who had allowed the consummation of so shame- 
ful an action. 

Universal discontent and the influence of the Queen, 
who had never ceased to befriend the illustrious Admiral, 
finally convinced Ferdinand that he had been guilty of a 
great injustice. A letter of Columbus written to their 
Majesties, and in which he passed in review the accusa- 
tions made against him, and where he exposed the malice 
and hatred of Bobadilla, dispelled all the doubts the 
Queen might have still entertained, and decided Ferdi- 
nand to immediately summon Columbus to Granada. 

On his arrival, the Queen, with tears in her eyes, 
gave him her hand to kiss. For the first time the great 
Admiral, worned and demoralized, lost his nerve and 
presence of mind. Fie fell, crying, at the feet of Queen 
Isabella, and allowed her to take off his chains.

At all hazards it seemed as if Columbus was on the 
way to be reinstated in the King's favor ; however, the 
appearances proved false, for his star was on the decline, 
and doomed to disappear altogether in a very short time. 

King Ferdinand was unrelenting in his annoyances 
of every description, and at the death of the noble and 
generous Isabella the Catholic, the discoverer of a conti- 
nent, the man who had been the instrument of refilling 
the coffers of the crown and create a hallow of glory 
around the Spanish name, was shorn of all his rights and 
despoiled of most all his property. 

Ingratitude, bitter sufferings and abject privations 
were his lot. On the 21st of May, 1508, at the age of 
70 years, he died of a broken heart, while uttering these 
last words : 

" Father, I place my soul in thy hands ! " 

There is something strange in the fact that the re- 
mains of a man whose career had been so agitated, and 
who had known no repose in his life of adventurous 
travels, found a last resting place only many years after 
Lis death. 

At first his body was buried in Yalladolid, the city 
where he died. Thence in Seville, from which place, 
in 1536, it was transferred to Santo Domingo. When 
this island passed into the hands of France, his ashes 
were transferred to Havana, in the island of Cuba, where 
they are now interred, side by side, with those of his son 
Diego, to whom, as a tardy reparation for the injury 
done his father, was granted a dukedom with vast estates.

to a Spanish lady, is buried in the cathedral of Seville. 

The chains with which Columbus was shackled were, 
according to his desires, buried with him. 

Tourists who visit Cuba will see, at the peristyle of 
the cathedral of Havana, the new monument which has 
been erected to Cohimbus on the occasion of the 400th 
anniversary of the discovery of America, and where his 
ashes are definitively laid. 

Four hundred years have passed since Columbus dis- 
covered the American continent. Monuments in his 
honor have been erected in all parts of the world, and 
the people of the United States, the foremost nation 
of the JMew World, have held the grandest exposition 
yet known in commejuoration of the grandest discovery 
yet made. These marks of honor, this era of general 
thankfulness towards a man like Columbus, whose chief 
characteristics were exalted perseverance and brilliant 
daring, toned down by nobleness of heart, are the natural 
tribute the whole human race owe this really great man.

CUBA. 



THE finest and largest of the West India islands, was 
discovered bj Columbus, on the 28th day of Octo- 
ber, 1492, and was named by him Juana, in honor of 
Prince John, the son of Ferdinand and Isabella, the 
sovereigns of Aragon and Castille. Upon the death of 
Ferdinand, the island was called Fernandina, receiving 
afterwards the name of Santiago, as a mark of reverence 
for the patron saint of Spain ; and still later, the inhabi- 
tants — to ilhistrate their piety — gave it that of Ave 
Maria, in honor of the Holy Yirgin. Cuba extends from 
Cape Maizi, on the East, to Cape St. Antonio, on the 
West, in a curved line of 790 miles. It lies between 
19^ and 23° north latitude, and 74^ and 85^ west lon- 
gitude. It is 117 miles wide in the broadest part, from 
Cape Maternillos on the north, to the western point of 
Mota Cove, on the south, 21 miles east of Cape Cruz. 

The nari'owest part of the island is 22 miles, from 
the mouth of Bahia del Mariel on the north to the Cove 
Havana on the south. From Havana to Batabano, it is 
28 miles; near the centre of the island, the breadth, 
north and south, is about 75 miles. The periphery of 
the island, following a line less tortuous, and catting the 
bays, ports and coves at their mouth, is 1,719 miles, of 
which 816 are on the north and 903 on the south. Its 



26 CUBA ILLUSTRATED. 

area is about 55,000 square miles ; and taking into the 
estimate tlie adjacent islands or keys wliich belong to it, 
it is 64,000 square miles. The form of the island is ex- 
ceedingly irregular, resembling that of a long, narrow 
crescent, the convex portion of which looks toward the 
Arctic pole. Her situation in regard to said pole is 
nearly from east by south to west by northwest. It is 
the most westerly of the West India Islands, and her 
western part is advantageously situated at the mouth of 
the Gulf of Mexico, leaving two spacious entrances ; the 
one of the northwest, 124 miles wide, between Point 
Hicacos, the most northerly of the island, and Point 
Tancha, or Cape Sable, the most southerly of East 
Florida. The other entrance into the Gulf to the south- 
west, is 97 miles in its narrowest part, between Cape St. 
Antonio de Cuba and Cape Catoche, the most salient 
extremity of the Peninsula of Yucatan ; from Cape Mola, 
or St. Nicholas, in the Island of St. Domingo, the east- 
ern extremity of Cuba, or Maizi Point, is separated by a 
channel 42 miles wide. From Maizi to Great Enagua, 
the nearest of the Lucayas, or Bahama Islands, the dis- 
tance northeast is 45 miles. From Point Lucrecia, in 
Cuba, the most easterly point of the great banks of Ba- 
hama, is the old Bahama channel, called St. Domingo's 
Key, 34 miles. From Punta del Ingles, on the south of 
Cuba, to the neai'est point of the northern coast of 
Jamaica, the distance is 75 miles. 

Cuba contains the following ports, on the north, viz. : 
Guadiana, Bahia Honda, Cabanas, Mariel, Habana, Cogi- 
mar, Bacurana, Jucaro, Matanzas, Cardenas, Sagua la

CLIMATE. 

The climate of the Island is of the pleasantest, both 
in the spring and winter ; in the latter season prevails 
what is called la seca, or dry weather. The rainy season 
begins in May and continues until November. The an- 
nexed tables, based upon the Fahrenheit thermometer, 
illustrate the almost even temperature of Cuba :

SOIL. 

The soil of the island may be said to rest almost gen- 
erally on a great mass of calcareous rock of a porous and 
diversified character {Seborucos or Mucara). ISTear the 
middle of the northern coast, a slaty formation is to be 
found, on which the calcareous rock seems to rest. 

POPULATION AND FERTILITY OF THE SOIL. 

According to the last official census, the population 
of Cuba is 1,521,684— the census of 1866 gave 1,359,238, 
which shows an increase during a period of 26 years of 
J 62,446 inhabitants. The Island of Cuba is about six 
times larger than Jamaica Island, of which the English 
are so proud. Only one-sixth of the Island of Cuba is 
under cultivation, and there is now in full operation — 



CUBA ILLUSTRATED.

1,200 sugar plantations, 

6,000 tobacco " 
160 coffee 
25 cocoa " 

5,000 breeding farms, 
17,000 small farms, 

95,000 stores, workshops, factories and warehouses. 
^ As to the fertility of the soil in Cuba, little can be 
said which may be new — it being so well known that it 
is almost proverbial. An area of 65,000 square miles, 
equivalent to nearly 34,560,000 acres, the greater part of 
which is of the first quality for cultivation, and a great 
portion of which still remains uncultivated, are circum- 
stances which offer an industrious emigrant a vast field 
to exert his efforts in, with the prospect of a very brilliant 
reward. 

Immense forests of precious woods are to be found in 
the Island, whose products enter into the finest art gems 
of the cabinet-makers of New York, Paris and London. 

The principal products are sugar, tobacco, coffee, 
cocoa, corn, rice, yuca, yame, sweet potatoes, potatoes, 
vanilla, etc. Exquisite fruits, as the pine-apple, oranges, 
sapodillo, anon, cocoanut, caimitos, berries, guanabana 
(the strawberry of the Antilles), mamey, guava, bananas, 
ma ran on, etc. 

The situation of Cuba, commanding the entrance of 
the Gulf of Mexico and the communication between 
North and South America, gives it a high commercial 
and political importance. Indeed, such designations as 
" The Queen of the Antilles," " The Key of the Gulf," 



CUBA ILLUSTRATED. 31 

^'The Sentinel of the Mississippi," ''The Beautiful 
Antille," "The Gem of the American Seas," indiscri- 
minately bestowed upon this enchanting island, are 
siifficientl}^ significant of its advantageous commercial 
position and its remarkable natural beauty and fertility. 

GOYERNMENT. 

Politically, the island is composed of a single Prov- 
ince under the control of a Superior Governor, who is at 
the same time Captain-General. It is subdivided into 
four political governments {gobiernos politicos) or Lieu- 
tenancies, which are further divided into Gobiernos and 
Captaincies. There*are thirty-one political districts, each 
of which has an Ayimtamiento or Town Council at the 
head of affairs. The military divisions likewise include 
the whole island, and constitutes a Captaincy- General. 
It is divided into two departments, with Havana for its 
capital in the west, and Santiago in the east; the former 
under the command of the Captain-General, the latter 
under the Governor of Cuba. Each department consists 
of military districts {gobiernos) and districts of arms. 

RELIGION. 

The Roman Catholic is the religion of the country, 
and the ecclesiastical government consists of the Arch- 
bishopric of Cuba and the Bishopric of Havana — the two 
dioceses being separated as above. Other rites are also 
tolei'ated. 

The house situated in Dragones and Zulueta Streets,

froTitiog the Irijoa Theatre, has been recently purchased 
for a place of worship by the Baptists of Havana. Ameri- 
cans and all foreigners are cordially invited to attend 
the religious services which are held on Sundays, in 
English, at 11.30 a. m., and iii Spanish at 7.30 p. m. 

MAEITIME DEPARTMENT. 

The maritime division comprises live Provinces : 
Havana, Trinidad, San Juan de los Pemedios, Nuevitas 
and Cuba ; the whole under a General Commander. The 
public domain and public works are controlled by a 
General Superintendent. As Cuba is the most important 
of the Spanish colonies, its Captain-General can not be 
of a lower rank than a lieutenant-general in the army, 
and the post is one of great power. 

A TRIP TO HAVANA. 

. Tourists desiring to escape the rigors of a northern 
winter, pleasure-seekers who wish to enjoy a mild and 
delicious climate, will surely be satisfied by going to 
Cuba. Every year the number of tourists increases from 
all parts of the United States, and if you meet in your 
travels southward some one coming from the Queen of 
the Antilles — which lies in the South Sea 80 miles from 
the United States (Key West) — you will surely feel 
anxious to enjoy the charms of its climate. 

By enumerating the principal points of interest in the 
island, the compiler will have accomplished his duty. 
While leaving to every one its owi\ appreciation of that

delightful coiintrj, whose scenery is so rich and varied, 
allow nie to indicate the different ways to reach Havana 
from New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Washington, New 
Orleans and Chicago, by the different lines of steamers 
and railroads. 

FROM NEW YORK. 

The palatial steamers of the Ward's Line, 113 Wall 
Street, New York, leave on Wednesdays for Havana, 
and every Saturday for Havana and Vera Crnz, at 3 p. m. ; 
for Cienfiiegos, calling at Nassau, twice a month, from 
Piers 16 and 17, East Piver. The distance by sea from 
New York to Havana is 1,200 miles, and the trip is gen- 
erally made by these steamers in 4^ days. 

The Spanish steamers of the " Spanish Transatlantic 
Line," J. M. Ceballos & Co., Agents, No. 80 Wall Street, 
leave every ten days for Havana, from Pier 21, North 
Piver. These steamers have tirst-class passenger accom- 
modations, European table-wine included. 

The Mallory Line, Pier 20, East Piver, New York, 
in addition to the service between New York to Fer- 
iiandina, makes semi-weekly trips to Galveston, Texas ; 
steamers leaving on Saturday stop at Key West, Florida ; 
the time between New York and Key West is but 3>^ 
days, and connection is made there for Tampa and all 
parts of South Florida, as well as for Havana, Cuba. 
This is a most convenient and cheap route to southern 
Florida, or to the West Indies ; these beautiful steamers 
are of great speed, and have first-class accommodations for 
passengers.

Jacksonville, Tampa and Key West Railway ; from San- 
ford to Port Tampa by the South Florida Railroad, and 
thence to Havana by the beautiful steamships Olivette 
and Mascotte, of the Plant Steamship Line. 

As the steamers of the Plant Line stop at Key West, 
the most important city of Florida, a description of this 
city will be interesting to Americans. 

Key West. 

Key West is an island with 20,000 inhabitants, and 
celebrated for its manufactures of cigars made with 
Havana tobacco ; next to Jacksonville she is the largest 
city in Florida. It is situated upon the island of the 
same name, off the southern extremity of the peninsula, 
and lying in the important part of the key facing the 
Gulf of Mexico. The island is about 6 miles long by 3 
miles wide, and is 11 feet above the sea level. The tem- 
perature in the winter is delightful, the air is pure, and 
the climate healthy ; the thermometer at mean tempera- 
ture in the winter is about 70^ and in the sunmier seldom 



CL'BA ILLUSTRATED. 37 

rises above 90*. The public buildings are: tlie Custom- 
House, Naval Stores, Marine Hospital, County Court- 
House, County Jail, a Masonic Hall and an Opera House. 
A monument of dark-gray granite, erected in 1866 to 
the memory of the sailors and soldiers who died in 
service at this station during the civil war, is near the 
Naval Stores. The city contains Episcopal, Baptist, 
Methodist and Koman Catholic churches. Outside the 
manufacturing of cigars, the principal industries of Key 
West are turtling, diving for sponges and fishing for the 
Cuban Market. The drives are charming, and the fishing 
and boating unsurpassed. 

Seven miles of railroad are now run daily by 14 cars. 
Key West claims the greatest permanent population of 
any city in Florida, and is the richest city of its size in 
this country. It is in importance the ninth port of entry 
in the United States, and the third naval strategic point. 
The city alone pays more import duty and internal 
revenue tax than all the rest of the State of Florida, and 
the vast States of Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi 
combined. 

The island enjoys several modern improvements : it 
is lighted by gas ; it counts one of the finest fire depart- 
ments in the State, under the command of Mr. B. F. H. 
Bowers, consisting of four first-class latest improved fire 
engines, one large hook-and-ladder truck, and four first- 
class hose-carriages. Three handsome Methodist churches 
and a Cuban Mission chapel ; Episcopal, Baptist, Presby- 
terian and Catholic churches, one colored Baptist, two 
public schools, and several private schools, all under

excellent management with large attendance. Besides 
these there is the tin est Catholic convent to be found in 
the State, with pupils from nearly every State and foreign 
countries. 

This institution is under the direction of the Sisters 
of the Sacred Hearts of Jesas and Maria. The convent 
is advantageously situated on the south beach of the 
island. The various (14) students' rooms are perfectly 
ventilated and well provided with modern school furni- 
ture ; they all connect together, and when the partitions 
are thrown open the sight of 400 female students is 
charming. The curriculum embraces a thorough English 
education, the Latin, French and Spanish languages, 
drawing, painting and needlework. A visit to this in- 
stitution will well repay tourists on their way to Havana. 

From Key West to Havana the distance is about 90 
miles. The steamer leaves Key West in the evening 
and arrives at Havana early in the morning. 

ENTKAISTCE TO THE BAY OF HAVANA. 

When nearing Morro Castle, a pilot comes aboard the 
steamer, and soon after it is visited by two government 
boats, having on board the Custom-House and the Board 
of Health officials, who alone are authorized to give a 
landing permit. The general aspect of the bay is won- 
derful ; at the left rises the fort of Morro Castle and the 
heights of La Cabana surmounted with flags ; at the right 
is Fort La Punta. The port is full of steamships of 
every nationality and of all tonnage. The bay is three 
miles in circumference, and is one of the finest in the 



40

world. Steamers anchor at their respective buoys. (No 
ship except Spanish vessels or steamers of the Spanish 
Transatlantic Line are allowed to dock.) Immediately 
upon their arrival they are surrounded by small boats 
with hotel agents, who clamor for the privilege of taking 
tourists ashore. The health authorities having accom- 
plished their work, you have then the Cnstom-House 
officers to please. Agents, interpreters for the hotels, 
will take passengers and baggage in charge, have boats 
ready to land and have baggage registered at the Custom- 
Hoiise. Expenses of landing and going to the hotel, 
including boat, carriage and express are $1.50 gold and up- 
ward, according to the number of pieces of baggage ; the 
best way is to put yourself in the hands of the inter- 
preters or agents of the hotels, who are reported to be 
the most reliable in the world, according to the statement 
of experienced tourists. You may find it a good way 
in Havana to live on the European plan ; that is, room 
in one place and take your meals at the restaurants, 
which are the best in the world. It is well to have an 
undei-standing beforehand in order to avoid recrimina- 
tions. 



H 



AVANA. 



The city of Havana, advantageously situated, is built 
upon a tongue of land, the head of which is protected by 
the fort of Morro Castle and the heights of La Cabana. 
The entrance to the port is protected: on one side by 
the fort of Santos Keyes del Morro, garrisoned by 800 



42 



CUBA ILLUSTRATED. 




CUBA ILLUSTRATED. 43 

soldiers, and an apparent battery, that of the Doce Apos- 
toles, built at the level of the water, which gives shelter 
to the garrison ; on the other side by fort La Punta. At 
the southeast of the Morro, rising above the city, is the 
fortress of San Carlos de la Cabana, which can shelter 
4,000 men. The batteries of La Cabana and La Pastora 
are built at water level, as the Twelve Apostles, and 
armed with 245 guns. On the east, about one mile, is 
Fort 'No. 4, and on the southeast, about 4 miles, is the 
Tower of Cogimar. Both the fires of Morro and La 
Cabana on the one side, and of the fort of Principe and 
Santo Domingo de Atares on the other, are designed to 
put the city in ashes in a few hours, while the lower bat- 
teries of La Pastora and the Twelve Apostles command 
the sea. Besides these forts and batteries there are 
other important fortitications, among them the fort of 
San JSTazario, the bulwark De la Plaza, the Santa Clara 
battery, the fort of La Chorrera and the Tower of Banes, 
representing in all about 650 guns. These fortifications 
have entailed the outlay of considerable sums of money. 
The population of Havana is about 250,000 inhabi- 
tants ; it is one of the finest and most important cities in 
the West India and South America, and is essentially cos- 
mopolitan. Tourists will notice the carriages, entirely 
different from those seen in the United States ; a few 
thousands of small victorias circulate in the streets of the 
ancient city for very low fares ; some of them are very 
comfortable; the horses aie about half the size of Amer- 
ican horses, and according to an American writer : ''Won- 
derful because they never fall down in the streets and

never get tired." Driving through the city and passing 
the narrow streets of the old town, one will enjoy the 
sight of the stores with their employees, in shirt-sleeves 
behind the counters, smoking cigarettes in very good 
humor, and ready to show tine imported goods and curio- 
sities. If you have never been in Spain, you may realize 
yourself to be there while in Havana, because Cuba 
represents Spain in many of its different characteristics. 
The picturesque aspect of the city, which is a vast 
museum of curiosities, excite your attention at every 
moment. The principal street for shopping is Calle del 
Obispo, or Bishop Street, where I recommend tourists 
to visit the stores La Habana, Las Mnfas, La Granada, 
first-class stores for dry goods and silks ; La Especial and 
La Complaciente, fan stores ; El l^ovator, tailors and 
fancy articles ; Wilson's American book store ; La Caro- 
lina, great depot for cigars and cigarettes. Oreilly Street, 
parallel with Obispo, is the street of the photographers — 
the most fashionable gallery is that of S. A. Cohner. In 
Muralla or Ricla Street, parallel with Obispo Street, are 
the wholesale houses. By showing this Guide at any 
store or business house advertised in it, tourists will be 
attentively waited upon, and will obtain the lowest prices 
for their purchases. 

EL PRADO. 

With its walk of two miles in length, lined with Indian 
laurel trees and evergreen on each side, the Prado is en- 
chanting at night.

INDIAN FOUNTAIN-PILA DE LA INDIA. 



CUBA ILLUSTRATED. 47 

From the fountain of La India, as the ilhistration 
shows, to La Pimta (entrance of the bay), the walk is 
very pleasant ; going down the Prado is to be found, on 
the right side, the beautiful Hotel Pasaje, and the greatly 
renovated Payret Theatre ; while on the left is the beauti- 
ful Tacon Theatre. In the centre of the Paseo is the 
celebrated Central Park, with the beautiful marble statue 
of Isabel Segunda, an artistic work of the great sculptor 
Yega. The military band plays almost every other 
evening in the Park. The general aspect at night is 
wonderful ; the park, crowded with agreeable and pleasant 
people who enjoy themselves ; the private carriages, here 
and there, with the charming sefioritas^ under the Indian 
laurel and palms, in their light and pretty dresses, sur- 
rounded by their friends, who deem it a duty to pay them 
compliments, chattering en plein air^ is a tropical scene 
of the greatest interest. In the Park are the great Cafe 
Central, Cafe Tacon, the celebrated Helados de Paris, 
which attracts the leading society of Havana for their 
sorbets and famed ice-cream ; and the Gran Hotel Tele- 
grafo, the great favorite of the American tourists, the 
great Tacon Theatre, the popular circus of Pubillones, 
and the Albisu Theatre. The walk or drive on the 
Prado is always interesting. In the Prado, Nos. 67-69, 
is the hydi-otherapic and bathing establishment of Dr. 
Belot, one of the most elegant of its kind in the world. 
Do not fail to visit Dr. Belot, who will take a special 
pleasure to show you his great establishment.

THE CASmO ESPASOL. 

The Spanish Casino is one of the finest buildings and 
one of the principal attractions in Havana. This Club 
was founded in 1859 ; it averages 2,500 members. Al- 
most every city in the Island has a club, corresponding 
with the main club of Havana. Tourists should not fail 
to visit the Casino, where they will always be welcomed. 
Its amiable and distinguished President, Mr. Garcia 
Tun on, and its members, take great pleasure to show 
tourists the interesting curiosities it contains. There is 
a tine collection of paintings, copies from celebrated 
Spanish artists, representing the history of the nation 
since the remotest epoch. Among the collection of oil- 
paintings, I call the attention of visitors to the beautiful 
group, full of expression and historical truth, represent- 
ing Isabella the Catholic, when she gave the royal dia- 
monds to help the expedition of Columbus. It is one of 
the greatest and most sublime episodes of the history of 
Spain. During the winter splendid balls are given there, 
as well as lyric and dramatic entertainments. The mas- 
querade balls of the Casino during the carnival are justly 
noted to be the most gorgeous in the world. The Casino 
supports a free academy where the English and French 
languages, book-keeping, drawing, etc., are taught. The 
Casino Espanol, which was at first near the park, is now 
located in one of the finest buildings in Havana, on Zu- 
lueta Street. Tourists should not fail to visit the Casino, 
where they will be welcomed.

THEATRES. 

GRAND TACON THEATRE. 

The Grand Tacon Theatre was erected in 1837, in 
memory of Captain-General Don Miguel Tacon, who 
was then in command of the Island of Cuba. It was 
built by Mr. Francisco Martj, and Torrens estimated its 
cost at $400,000. It is situated in the better part of the 
city, between Prado and Consulado Streets, fronting on 
the celebrated Central Park. The Tacon Theatre occu- 
pies a superficial area of 6,176 square yards, it has three 
doors on the front, six on San Rafael Street, three on 
Consulado Street, and two on San Jose Street. At the 
other angle of the Theatre, formed by Prado and San 
Rafael Streets, is the Salon Brunet, the leading Cafe of 
Havana. The stage is 42.83 metres in length by 20.68 
in width, aiid the entrance 17.63. The seating capacity 
is as follows: 56 boxes on first and second floors, 8 boxes 
on third floor, 4 grilles on flrst and second floors, 2 grilles 
on third floor, 112 butacas on third floor, 552 orchestra 
seats, 101 chairs in the tiers and front, 1,203 chairs front 
and back of tiers. Total number of seats, 2,287 ; there- 
fore, 3,000 people can be seated very comfortably at the 
Tacon Theatre. The luminary consists of 1,034 gas 
jets; the decorations comprise 751 shifting scenes; 
the armory possesses 605 different sorts of arms ; the 
wardrobe 13,787 costumes; the furniture and tools for 
the stage number 782; the archives contain about 1,200 
partitions of opera, opera-bouffe, tragedies, dramas, co- 
medies, etc., besides a large number of songs and piano

and military band pieces. This Coliseum v/as inaugu- 
rated with the performance of the drama " Don Juan de 
Austria.'' Ten years ago $20,000 were expended in 
repairs ; the busts of Tasso, Dante and Arioste were also 
added in the dome. The Tacon Theatre is a great public 
ornament, and indicates great love for the arts, and offei-s 
tourists to the capital of the Island of Cuba a matchless 
place of amusement. 

PAYRET OPERA HOUSE. 

In Prado Street, fronting on Central Park, near the 
Grand Hotel Pasaje. It is a beautiful structure, fully 
equal to the Tacon Theatre as to architecture and seating 
capacity. The Payret was erected about fourteen years 
ago. In 1883 the theatre was partly destroyed by a ter- 
rible tornado, and was abandoned until 1890, when the 
edifice was entirely restored, and has again become the 
home of the great operatic school. 

THE ALBISU THEATRE. 

Is an elegant hall located in the building of the 
Centro Asturiano (Asturies Club), and has lately been 
restored ; it is one of the prettiest theatres of its kind, 
where comedy, drama and opera are performed. 

THE IRIJOA THEATRE. 

Named in memory of the industrious and distin- 
guished owner, Mr. Irijoa. It is a handsome, commodious 
and well ventilated theatre, lately built, and specially 
adapted for summer performances. Elegant balls are 



52

CITBA ILLUSTRATED. 63 

given there every season by the leading societies of 
Havana. A garden with fountains, in the main entrance, 
attracts the eye. Small tables are placed here and there 
to partake of j-efreshments, which gives it the appear- 
ance of the " Champs Elysees," or Paris cafes concerts. 
Mr. Irijoa has made his name very popular by the erec- 
tion of his theatre. 

PLAZA DE AKMAS. 

Is situated at the lower extremity of Obispo Street. 
It is here that the winter residence of the Captain-Gen- 
'eral and the main official government buildings are. By 
consulting the illustration, the reader will notice a garden 
of tropical flowers, plants and palms. The statue in the 
<?entre, an artistic marble monument, is that of Ferdinand 
the Seventh. The illustration, el Templete, opposite the 
Captain-General's residence, represents a little chapel 
erected to the memory of Columbus. It was at this 
plage that, in the year 1519, was celebrated the first mass 
in the Island, under a large ceiba, a beautiful tree known 
as the cotton-tree of the West Indies. Tourists will 
notice a bronze tablet at the frontispiece with the follow- 
ing inscription : 

Reinando el Senor Don Fernando Vll^ siendo Pre- 
mdente y Gohemador Don Francisco Dionisio Vives,

CAKNIVAL. 

Daring the Carnival, public masquerade balls are 
given every Sunday after the performances at the Tacon 
Theatre. Dancing commences at about 12 p. m., and 
continues until daylight. For that purpose the floor of 
the parquette is raised to a level with the boxes and the 
stage, converting it into a vast and commodious ball- 
room. The theatre is open to all, and access to the boxes 
and galleries is free to the public, who can thus enjoy 
the sight of the ball and listen at the same time to the 
peculiar Cuban dancing music. During the carnival the 
Paseos are very attractive. A drive to the Prado and 
Carlos Tercero, which are crowded with carriages and 
fantastic masqueraders is also very interesting. 

BULL FIGHTS. 

{La corrida de toros) 

'This old Spanish entertainment and amusement has 
also its lovers in Havana, and offers every year an excep- 
tional interest. The Captain-General being generally 
present at the corrida^ it atti-acts the fashionable society 
of Cuba. Havana has been favored with the best raata- 
dores of Spain. Every season the best bulls are imported 
from Lerida at enormous prices. A few years ago Cuba 
was raging over the espada Luis Mazzantini. His en- 
gagement was made at a great expense — $30,000, and a 
beneiit, for fourteen performances, all expenses paid to 
and from Madrid, as well as during his stay in Cuba for

liimself and company. The portrait and biography of 
Mazzantini may be interesting to Americans. 

Luis Mazzantini was born in the Province of Grui- 
piizcoa in Spain forty-two years ago. His father was 
an Italian, his mother a Spanish hdj : he was educated 




LUIS MAZZANTINI. 



at Eome, Italy, where he graduated and received the 
degree of Bachelor of Arts. Mazzantini was at one time 
the secretary of one of the confidential advisers of King 
Amadeus I., of Spain. Having learned telegraphy, he 
became an operator, was promoted chief of station, and 
for his efficiency was again promoted to a high position 
in the administration of a great railway company at Ma- 
drid, where he was protected by Jose Echegaray, the 



CUBA ILLUSTRATED. 57 

great Spanish writer and dramatist, who was at the time 
manager of the railway. Mazzantini said that he discov- 
ered there was but two ways by which a man might 
become eminent in Spain : either by singing or bull- 
lighting. 

He failed as a singer and was left to do the other, or 
else remain a telegraph operator. His fondness for the 
amateur bullring was such as to take a great deal of his 
time from the office. This was noticed by the manager, 
who finally told him that he must choose between bull- 
fighting and railroading. '^ All right," said Mazzantini, 
'' I'll give up the railroad." He left the ofiice and went 
directly to the Plaza de Toros. He reported that he was 
ready to enter the arena as a professional ; he was well 
and favorably known as an amateur, and his coming was 




A BULL-FIGHT.

hailed with delight ; he was placed in the front rank as 
Primer Espada or Matador, and the next Siindaj' he ap- 
peared in the arena with the white satin costume of a 
debutant ; though it rained he killed his three bulls like 
an old hand in the business, and became famous as the 
first bull-fighter in Spain. 

The Plaza de Toros, where the sport takes place, is 
situated near the Paseo de Carlos III. From any part 
of the city a carriage will take you to the arena for 50 
cents silver (same price for two). Tourists should arrive 
before the opening, in order to be present at the entry of 
the cuadrilla, when the President is saluted and gives 
the signal to commence the performance. It is a lively 
scene well worth seeing. Tickets can be had almost any- 
where. Bull-fights take place every Sunday at 3 p. m. 

CHURCHES. 

are devoid of beauty, both externally and internally, as 
such edifices can be made. 

.The foundations of the Cathedral were laid in 1656, 
and the church finished in 1724. It is situated on Em- 
pedrado Street. The architecture is of the Latin- Gothic 
style. The ceremonies on feast days are magnificent and 
solemn. High mass is celebrated every Sunday at 8 a. m. 
The ashes of Columbus lie in one of the vaults of the 
Cathedral. On the left side, in the rear, tourists will 
notice a slab, upon which is a bust in relief of Columbus^ 
as the illustration shows {see jxige 2G), with this inscrip- 
tion :

of the wealthiest and most aristocratic churches of Ha- 
vana. At its rear tourists will notice two chapels with 
fine and artistic cupolas. The oil paintings are very fine, 
one especially, "The Last Supper." The rear of the

BELEN, 

on Compostela Street, at the corner of Luz. This mon- 
astery was built in 1704 by Bishop Diego Evelino de 
Compostela, in his garden ; he had in 1696 built a church 
called San Diego de Alcala. These monks kept the only 
free-school up to the latter part of the last century. The 
school existed until 1864, when the whole building was 
given to the Jesuits for the establishment of the Royal 
College of Havana. 

Tourists are welcomed visitors to the churches at any 
time, 

FORTS. 

MORRO CASTLE AND LA CABANA 

can be visited every day. Tourists must first procure an 
application from the United States Consul to the Mili- 
tary Governor of the city, and they will receive in return 
a permit to visit the forts. Tourists will go down the 
wharf {m,uelle caballeria) and take a guadanero (boatman) 
and cross the bay ; arriving at the fort the permit is pre- 
sented .to a soldier on guard, who gives the right to pass. 
The officers are very courteous. A soldier is detailed to 
accompany the tourists through the forts. At one end 
of Morro Castle, tourists will notice a wooden bridge 
uniting the two forts and built by the English during 
the occupation in the year 1762. They will also notice 
the light-house constructed when General O'Donnell was 
Commander of the Island, in the year 1844. The light- 
house is a revolving one, of the Fresnell model, with a 
minute flash-light that is seen at a distance of 26 miles.

MARKETS. 

Are very attractive for the variety and abundaDce of 
:fisli, vegetables and tropical fruits ; the best time to visit 
them is at early morning. The Tacon is the leading 
market, the largest and finest in Havana. It occupies an 
entire block, opened all around ; it is surrounded by all 
kinds of stores with the greatest assortment of goods and 
novelties, where tourists can purchase, at a trifling cost, 
charming souvenirs. The Colon market, on Zulueta 
Street, has been recently completed, and the Cristina 
market, on the Plaza Vieja, is the oldest of Havana. 
Tourists should visit them in order to get acquainted 
^th the richness of the products of the soil. 

COCK-PITS. 

Cock mains take place every Sunday afternoon. 
While bull- tight lovers enjoy themselves at the Plaza de 
Toros, the excitement of cock-lights prevail at Manrique 
Street. The cock-pits of Cuba are the most famed in 
the world.

soirees, and lectures by celebrated speakers of the 
country. 

The Marianao Eailroad stops at the following sta- 
tions : Tnlipan, Cerro, Ceiba, Buenavista, Qnemados, and 
Marianao. Marianao, about 15 miles from Havana, is a 
nice and pleasant town of 5,000 inhabitants. The rail- 
road extends to the beach of Marianao, three miles from 
that place, where sea-bathing can be enjoyed. About 
three miles from the Marianao station hes one of the 
finest sugar plantations in Cuba— the Ingenio Toledo. A 
permit is required to visit the plantation; it can be ob- 
tained through a prominent person or a business house 
in IlKvana. Trains leave every hour from 6 a. m. Tou- 
rists will enjoy the trip very much and pass an agreeable 
morning. The round trip takes three hours. 

Tourists will also enjoy a visit to Guanabacoa, one of 
the oldest cities in the Island, with a population of about 
20,000 inhabitants. This city possesses excellent mineral 
waters, especially beneficial for disorders of the digestive 
organs. Trains leave every half hour, and rnn in con-

Palatinos, who was formerly its owner. Mme. Eosa 
Abreii, Coimtess of Palatinos, who resides in Paris, is 
the present owner. The Countess is married to Dr. 
Granger, a prominent French physician, who is at the 
head of the celebrated Pastenr laboratory. 

Mr. Betancourt, the gardener and keeper of the pro- 
perty, will kindly show tourists the great variety of 
tropical trees, comprising twelve species of mangoes, 
orange, cocoa-nut, etc. A iine collection of marble 
statuary, valued at $40,000, is an additional ornamenta- 
tion to this beautiful place. 

THE COCOA-NUT TREE. 

The cocoa-nut tree shown in the accompanying illus- 
tration can be seen in its natural condition at the Palati- 
nos gardens. The specimen shown in the engraving 
was planted six years ago, and consequently has entered 
in its second fruit-bearing year. The cocoa-nut tree bears 
fruit incessantly, as new nut formations are made with 
evjBry change of the moon, and consequently once arrived 
at its fruit-bearing stage, the cocoa-nut tree is never devoid 
of nuts. When freshly plucked from the tree the nut 
is filled with a delicious milky water, which has certain 
medicinal properties. This water is quite cool and 
vGvy refreshing in tropical climes, and can be drank 
without the least danger. The nut after a lapse of time, 
becomes dry and coated on the inside with a deposit from 
the milk}' water; it is generally in this condition that it 
reaches the United States, where this hard matter enters

to a large extent in the mannfactnre of candies, pies, 
etc. The agriculturist tinds in the cocoa-nut tree and its 
fruit, a source of income which day by day goes on 
increasing, as the libre enters more lai'gely into the chan- 
nels of the industrial arts. From the oi^dinary door- mats, 
ropes, bagging, etc., the textile qualities of the plant have 
so appreciated that it enters in ahnost everything where 
strength, pliableness and durability are desired. It 
figures to-day into the construction of the modernized 
man-of-war. The French and American war navies 
nse it as a tiller between the hull and the armor of their 
most powerful vessels, as well as between decks. The 
fibre not only diminishes the concussion on board a man- 
of-war firing a broadside, but it helps wonderfully in 
filling up holes made by the tiring of the enemy, accord- 
ing to experiments lately made. 

THE CHICKEN DEALER (El Pollero). 

Among the characteristic types of Cuban peddlers 
the chicken dealer is one of the most interesting. He 
coines every day to the city, as he lives in the neighbor- 
hood of Havana. He goes on his rounds among his 
customers and sells live poultry. No one in Cuba would 
think of buying chickens as it is done in the United 
States, where the poultry is killed by steam and kept on 
ice. The Havana chicken dealer is well patronized, and 
can be seen every day around the town attending to his 
business. The accompanying illustration, taken from 
nature, cannot fail to interest American tourists

Matanzas, 



This beautiful city, situated 85 miles east of Havana, 
and called the city of the two rivers, was founded in the 
year 1693. The etymology of the name Matanzas is 
much disputed by antiquarians in Cuba. Some, ascribing 
it to the slaugther of Indians in 1511 at the time of the 
conquest of the Island, contend that the supposed Indian 
name Yicmuri^ which is also that of one of the two 
rivers between which the city stands, is synonymous, in 
poor Spanish, with the Indian name of the locality where 
the massacre took place. The story goes on that an 
Indian spy of the conquerors, when pursued by them. 



82

CUBA ILLIJSTKAlTED. 83 

ran away shouting: '' Yu-muri," which in poor Spanish 
means "I die.'' The rivers St. John and Ynmnri divide 
the citj in three parts. The northern part, on the Yu- 
muri, is called Versailles ; the central part, between the 
two rivers, is known as the old town ; and the southern 
part, on the St. John, is called Pueblo Nuevo. Many 
beautiful squares, the San Carlos Church and the Esteban 
Theatre embellish the city. It has also numerous hos- 
pitals and benevolent societies. The principal attractions 
for tourists are the Yumuri Yalley and the Caves of 
Bellamar. In the Plaza de Armas, as the illustration 
shows, are the interesting Spanish and Cuban Casino 
clubs. 

The Bahia Railway connects Havana to Matanzas. 
The trains leave every day at 6.50 a. m. and arrive at 
Matanzas at 9.15 a. m. The beautiful valley of the Yu- 
muri and the caves of Bellamar may be visited the same 
day. At the station, a carriage will take you to the 
hotel of your choice. The Hotel San Carlos is situated 
in the centre of the city and the Hotel Frances is near 
the Bahia Railway station. I take pleasure to inform 
American tourists that the beautiful caves of Bellamar 
have been purchased by Messrs. Garcia & Co., proprietors 
of the Hotel Frances, where tourists will find the best 
accommodation, polite attendance and the greatest com- 
fort. While at breakfast the necessary arrangements for 
a volanta — the ancient and commodious vehicle of the 
Island — and guides, if necessary, should be retained to 
visit the caves and the Yumuri Valley. 

First, visit the Yumuri Valley, about three miles 



84

northwest of Mataiizas. Once npon the hill you are 
charmed by the beauty of the valley, with its grounds 
broken into sharp peaks and genteel undulations ; its 
cane-fields, with their pea-green verdure, and the dark- 
green foliage of the palms, naturally scattered over them ; 
its orange groves and luxuriant plantations, with broad 
waving leaves; the cocoa, the cocoa-nut and almond trees 
and its coffee plantations, while here and there an enor- 
mous ceiba-tree spreads out its massive branches high in 
the air. The landscape has no rival even in the pic- 
turesque scenery of Switzerland. Visit the chapel of 
Monserrate, and drive to the caves of Bellamar, about 
three miles east of Matanzas. Guides provided with 
torches accompany visitors throughout these marvellous 
caves. Speaking of the main chamber, Mr. Hazard 
says : '' This temple, I should think, is quite 200 feet 
long by about TO wide, and is about 150 feet from the 
entrance of the cave ; and while it far surpasses in rich- 
ness and splendor the temple of the same name in the 
Mammoth Cave, it does not equal it in size or solemn 
grandeur." "^ 

The sparkling columns of crystal produce a most 
wonderful effect; their color changing, when a torch is 
held behind them, from white to amber, warmed up by 
lovely rose-tints, the effect is indeed magical and enchant- 
ing. Each of these caves hav^e a name : one " The Mantle 
of Columbus," another "The Temple of Benediction," 
"The Guardian Spirits," and so on. The caves were

accidentlj discovered some thirty years ago by a laborer 
losing a tool down a hole ; a search for the tool revealed 
an opening into this fairy grotto. At the cave tourists 
are near the Bahia Railroad station, where the train 
leaves at 1.10 p. m. Magnificent plantations stretch away 
as far as the eye can reach, until your return to Havana, 
at about 3.40 p. m. 



c 



ARDENAS. 



This new city, the youngest of note in Cuba, was 
founded in 1828, and has now more than 3,000 houses 
and establishments of all kinds. Its growth is unequaled 
in Cuban annals. It has a population of about 20,000 
inhabitants. It is the first city which has erected a 
monument to Cristopher Columbus. Its prosperity is 
attributed to the great feiiility of the surrounding coun- 
try. It has fine sugar plantations and does a large export 
business with the United States. Two sugar refineries 
have been established a few years ago ; they supply the 
whole Island and export some of their products besides. 
Society in Cardenas is amiable and hospitable. The 
Hotel Leon de Oro, and the Hotel Isla de Cuba are the 
best in the city. The distance from Havana is about 
180 miles. Trains leave Havana daily at 6.50 a. m. and 
arrive at Cardenas at 1 p. m. 



88

ClENFUEGOS. 

The city lies on the south coast of the Island. It is 
famed among geographers as possessing one of the finest 
bays in the world. Cienfuegos is about 300 miles from 
Havana; it lies 22^ 15' north latitude and 81^^ west lon- 
gitude. It is connected by railways with the principal 
towns of the island, being the terminal point of the Ba- 
hia Railroad. The population numbers about 20,000 ; 
the city is built in the modern style, with wide streets, 
which are kept in fine condition. The Plaza de Armas 
is one of the most beautiful squares on the Island ; on its 
front is the Cathedral, and on one of its lateral sides are 
the government buildings and the barracks, and on the 
other side stands a beautiful small theatre. On Santa 
Cruz Street are two social clubs which deserve a visit. 
The climate is both lovely and healthy. The mineral 
springs of Cienfuegos are renowned for their curative 
properties. Two hotels are to be found in Cienfuegos. 
The Grand Union Hotel, under the proprietorship of 
Mr. F. G. Roves, offers excellent accommodations and is 
the only first-class hotel in the city. In the immediate 
neighborhood of the city there are numerous lovely 
country residences and a large area of fertile lands yet 
uncultivated, although very important sugar plantations 
have already been established. 

Cienfuegos is probably the locality which can boast 
of the most rapid progress of all the young cities of the 



90 



CUBA ILLUSTRATED. 




CUBA ILLUSTRATED. 91 

Island of Cuba. Seventj-three years ago, the site upon 
which Cienfiiegos liow stands was merely a beautiful 
grove of tropical trees, washed by the waters of a magni- 
ficent natural safe harbor, into which Columbus anchored 
in 1494. 

Columbus was so much pleased with the grandeur of 
the panorama and with the natural advantages of the bay 
that he constructed a fort to protect its entrance, and 
named it ISTuestra Seilora de los Angeles de Jagua. 
However, until 1819 Cienfuegos remained a mere harbor 
of safety for the coastwise and transatlantic trading. 
During that year a French colonel, M. de Clouet de 
Piette, undertook, with the help of General Cienfuegos, 
who was at the time Governor of the Island of Cuba, the 
colonization of this rich Province. On the 16th of April, 
1819, forty-six sturdy Frenchmen from Bordeaux, France! 
landed at the port, and the development of the rich nat- 
ural resources of this Eden of the Queen of the Antilles 
was for the first time attempted in a methodical and 
successful manner. It was from this first impulse that 
the city of Cienfuegos sprung to its present commercial 
importance. 

THE TOMAS TEKRY THEATRE 

is to be^ found at the angle formed by San Carlos and 
San Luis Streets, and fronting the Plaza de Armas. This 
edifice was presented to the city of Cienfuegos by the 
heirs of the lamented capitalist, Sr. D. Tomas Terry. 
The construction covers an area of 1,792 square metres. 



92 



CUBA ILLUSTRATED. 




CUBA ILLUSTRATED. 93 

The form of the theatre is rectangular, with balcony 
over the main entrance. The main ceiling is embellished 
by paintings executed by the great artist Salaya. Twelve 
hundred people can be comfortably seated in the theatre, 
which has cost over $200,000. Its receipts support an 
art-school, and the balance is distributed to benevolent 
societies. 



THE " CONSTANCIA " SUGAK ESTATE, 

in the district of Cienf aegos, is one of the largest in the 
world. While en route from JN'assau to Cienfuegos, 
American tourists should not fail to visit this immense 
plantation, where sugar is made from the syrup of the 
sugai'-cane. The machinery is principally from France 
and Scotland, but there is twenty S. S. Hepworth's 
patent centrifugals of the West Point Foundry of l^ew 
York State. The sugar-cane to feed this great central 
manufacture is gathered from the neighboring country, 
which furnishes from 100 to 120 millions pounds of sugar 
every year. This sugar estate, the property of Mr. 
Julio Apezteguia, is situated about 12 miles from Cien- 
fuegos. 

Steamers leave Cienfuegos at 6 a. m. and arrive at 
'' Constancia " at 7.30. The trip on the beautiful bay of 
Cienfuegos is very agreeable and quite picturesque. On 
entering the river Damuji, which is both narrow and 
shallow, tourists will naturally notice the beautiful and 
luxuriant vegetation, especially the queen palms which 
are so abundant in the Peari of the Antilles. I advise 



94 



CUBA ILLUSTKATED. 




CUBA ILLUSTRATED. 95 

tourists to secure the services of an interpreter in order 
to avoid any inconvenience while visiting this interesting 
place. At the Gran Union Hotel tourists will find at- 
tentive interpreters ready to give all the desired infor- 
mation about this excursion. 

From Cienfuegos to Havana there is two means of 
communication, one by steamers and the other by rail. 
The steamers leave for Batabano twice a week, and the 
train leaves Cienfuegos for Havana every morning. 
Travellers will receive at the Gran Union Hotel all 
necessary information. 

FORT CASTILLO. 

An excursion to this fort, 10 miles distant from Cien- 
fuegos, is well worth the short time it takes to complete 
it. The structure is centuries old and rests upon the 
solid rock. It is in charge of a military governor and 
garrisoned by a company of regular soldiers. 

The steamer leaves every hour, and the sail is very 
pleasant. Stoppages are made on the way to various 
suburban residences, which are occupied principally 
in the summer months by the rich families of Cien- 
fuegos. 

The view from the summit of the fort is one not to 
be forgotten. The trip is ordinarily accomplished in 
three hours time, and the fare, 40 cents for the round trip, 
is very moderate.

Isle of Pines. 

This island lies in the Caribbean Sea, 33 miles oft" tlie 
coast of Cuba, and is under the jurisdiction of the politi- 
tical governor of Havana. It is 43 miles long and 35 
miles wide in its widest part, with an area of 1,200 square 
miles and a population of about 2,000. The coast is 
deeply indented by bays and inlets, some of which afford 
commodious anchorage, though surrounded by innumer- 
able rocky islets or keys. A mountain-chain, over 1,600 
feet high, the Sierra de la Canada, traverses the Island, 
and the country is well irrigated by several rivers. The 
centre is somewhat marshy, but the soil is otherwise very 
fertile. Timber and precious woods abound. Among 
the mineral productions are silver, quicksilver, iron, sul- 
phur and rock crystal, while marble of various beautiful 
colors occur in large quantities. The climate is exceed- 
ingly mild and salubrious, and there is no place in the 
West Indies better adapted for invalids. Being sheltered 
on the north by Cuba, the thermometrical range is very 
small, and the winters are wonderfully mild and equable. 
The towns on the Island are Nueva Gerona (which in 
1887 had a population of 1,000), Santa Fe and Jorobado. 
The Island was discovered by Columbus in 1491. It is 
reached from Havana twice a week. Trains leave Ha- 
vana on Wednesdays and Sundays at 6 a. m. ; arrive at 
Batabano at 8 a. m,, connecting with the steamer J^l 
JVitevo Cuhcmo, of Mr. Angel Ceballos, a beautiful 
steamer with all modern improvements, which reaches 
the Island of Fines at about 4 p. m.

San Diego de los Bangs. 

The sulphur springs and waters of San Diego are 
celebrated and known for their medicinal properties and 
wonderful effects. Reports by eminent chemists say 
that the springs are highly charged with sulphurated 
hydrogen, and contain sulphate of lime, hydro-chlorate 
of magnesia and carbonate. During the season a large 
number of visitors, pleasure-seekers and invalids, are 
attracted there. There is no case of rheumatism, para- 
lysis, female complaints, ulcers, eruptions or tumors, 
which have not been relieved or cured by its use. Trains 
from Cristina station. Western Railway, leave daily at 
6 A. M., arriving at Paso Real about 1 p. m. From Paso 
Real a volanta takes the traveller to San Diego in a few 
hours. The hotel recommended is the Gabancho. 

Madruga, also very famous for its sulphur baths, is 
only second to San Diego, and is about 65 miles, midway 
between Havana and Matanzas, and is connected by rail 
to both places. The temperature of the water is little 
lower than at San Diego. Trains leave from Yillanueva 
station daily. 

Puerto Principe. 

Puerto Principe is the principal city of the interior, 
and in population nearly equals Matanzas. It is the 
capital of the Central Department, and lies about mid- 



100 CUBA ILLUSTRATED. 

way between tlie nortli and south coast, 305 miles east 
southeast of Havana. The city is irregularly built be- 
tween two small streams, the Timima and the Jatibonico, 
in a rich agricultural district, the chief products of which 
are sugar and tobacco. Its trade is insignilicant compared 
with its population. The principal buildings are several 
churches and monasteries, a hospital and two theatres. 
The town was threatened several times during the recent 
rebellion by the Cuban patriots, and two or three battles 
were fought in its neighborhood. The cliuiate is hot and 
moist, but the winters are remarkably mild, and at that 
season the town is somewhat sought for by those invalids 
who dislike the proximity of the coast. Puerto Principe 
is connected by a railway, 56 miles long, with the port 
of Nuevitas, through which extend its exterior commu- 
nication. 

Santiago de Cuba. 

Locally called Cuba, is situated almost at the other 
end of the Island, and on its south side. It was formerly 
the capital of Cuba, and is still the second city in rank 
and population, and contained in 1888 about 50,000 inha- 
bitants. It lies on the river Santiago, six miles from its 
mouth, and has a port four miles long, which is deep 
enough for war vessels, and strongly fortified. The city 
is regularly laid out on a steep declivity, with wide 
streets, some very precipitous, and handsome houses, 
which are chiefly built of stone. The cathedral, com- 



CUBA ILLUSTRATED. 101 

}3leted in 1819, is the lar<^est on the Island, and there are 
several other churches, a theatre, a custom-house, bar- 
racks, a college, and three hospitals. Santiago is an 
archbishop's see, and the residence of the Governor for 
the Eastern Department. Next to Havana, Santiago is 
the liveliest citj in Cuba, and probably the oldest town 
in the West Indies. The finest coffee and sugar planta- 
tions are located in its surroundings. It is, furthermore, 
an important commercial town, and the principal centre 
of the copper mining district of Cuba. The winter cli- 
mate is remarkably healthy. Santiago may be reached 
by railway from Havana to Batabano, connecting with 
steamers stopping at Cienfuegos, Trinidad, Santa Cruz 
and Manzanillo. The distance from Havana is about 500 
miles. 



USEFUL HINTS AND SUGGESTIONS. 

There are certain things with which every traveller 
must supply himself before undertaking his journey, and 
certain facts, a knowledge of which will be useful to him 
while on his way. On this account, a little time devoted 
to the examination of the advertising pages will be pro- 
fitably spent. It is advisable to telegraph in advance for 
rooms at hotels. A single room means a room for one 
person ; a double room means a room for two persons ; a 
double-bedded room means a room with two beds. The 
following notice has been published by the leading papers 
of New York : 



102 CUBA ILLUSTRATED. 

" Americans in Cuba : No passport needed by those 
"who wish to land or live on the Island. — Havana^ 
"October 15th, 1887. — Some time ago the government 
" published new regulations, according to which Ameri- 
" can citizens are now allowed to land at or depart from 
" Cuban ports without being obliged to present a pass- 
" port or other document signed bj a Spanish Consul at 
" the port of entry. A simple certificate from the 
" American Consul will be suflScient for the identifica- 
" tion of any citizen of the United States, and will enable 
" him to travel all over Cuba, to remain on the Island as 
" long as he pleases, and leave whenever he wishes with- 
" out molestation." 

I advise tourists going to Cuba to provide themselves 
with a certificate issued by a E'otary Public, to avoid 
trouble. 

A great many people exaggerate considerably when 
speaking about the climate of Cuba. From December to 
May the fever is almost unknown. There is no danger 
whatever for tourists. But while changing suddenly 
from winter to summer care should be taken ; the cloth- 
ing used North in midsummer will do in Cuba. 

Tourists are respectfully invited to visit the stores 
advertised in this book. By presenting this Guide they 
will be specially waited upon and will receive the benefit 
of all discounts. While purchasing goods, ascertain if 
the amount asked is in gold or silver and thus avoid 
confusion. Cuba is like any other place in the world, 
and one who cannot speak the language may sometimes 
be imposed upon.

To properly visit the cities of Havana and Matanzas 
a week at least is necessary. Tourists will be most 
agreeably surprised when they find out the excellency of 
Havana hotels, they have almost all the modern improve- 
ments and are managed on both the European and Amer- 
ican plans. The Hotel Mascotte, the palatial hotel of 
Havana, conducted by J. Carbonell & Co., has been new- 
ly furnished and renovated. It is located near the Bay, 
as the illustration shows, overlooking the harbor, the 
city, and the Gulf of Mexico. All the rooms are front 
rooms, and the accommodations are strictly first-class. 
The Pasaje Hotel, so named for the covered passage at 
the rear of the hotel — leading from the Prado to Zulueta 
Street — is beautifully located ; it is under the manage- 
ment of Messrs. Manuel Linares and Son, so favorably 
known to American tourists. The Hotel Saratoga is 
situated on Principe Alfonso Street, fronting on Campo 
de Marte, and is under the management of Mrs. R. de 
Aliarte. The Telegrafo Hotel, so well-known among

Afnerican tourists, has been removed on the Prado, 
fronting the Central Park. It is always admirably ma- 
naged by Messrs. F. Gonzalez & Co., under both the 
European and American plans. 

The restaurants in Havana are equal to the best of 
New York and Paris. The restaurants " El Casino," 
" El Louvre," " Las Tullerias," "El Palacio de Cristal," 
''El Carabanchel," "El Suizo," in the new quarter of 
the city (up-town) are patronized by the best society of 
Havana. The Restaurant de Paris, down town, is the 
rendezvous of the leading merchants for breakfasting. 
If you desire to enjoy the coolness of the breeze of the 
Gulf of Mexico, you will surely be pleased h}'' going to 
the Llotel and Restaurant Cosmopolitan, at "La Chor- 
rera," about 5 miles from Havana. Street cars leave 
every half hour from Plaza San Juan de Dios and from 
" La Puuta,'' at the end of the Prado ; fare, 10 cents 
silver. The Hotel and Restaurant Chaix, under the di- 
rection of Mr. Chaix, is faaious for its dinner parties ; it 
is situated three miles distant from Havana, on the beau- 
tiful spot El V^edado, fronting the Gulf of Mexico. Tou- 
rists will please remember to recommend themselves with 
this Guide to the places advertised, as every one will be 
pleased to give them a heartier welcome on that account.

The 
Cigar Factories of Havana. 



It is conceded that the Havana tobacco has no equal 
in the world in flavor and quality. This is due to the 
climate and the nature of the soil, which, together with 
the purity of the water, makes the Havana cigars the 
most recherches by all connoisseurs. Tourists are wel- 
comed to visit all the tobacco factories advertised in this 
Guide. 

The factory of Messrs. Calixto Lopez & Co. (brands 
" El Eden," " Lo Mejor," etc.), who use only the Yuelta 
Abajo tobacco, is situated, as the illustration shows, on 
Zulueta Street, Nos. 4:8-50. The building has all the 
modern improvements, is specially adapted for the manu- 
facture of cigars, and is a credit to the firm, who are 
among the principal manufacturers of cigars on the 
Island of Cuba ; they keep the best stock of Havana leaf 
tobacco, g^'own upon their own plantation in the Yuelta 
Abajo district. Cigar and tobacco dealers will be con- 
vinced of this fact by visiting their factory. The com- 
fort of the workmen, 400 in number, has been studied, 
and in that respect the factory has no superior in the 



120

world, with its ventilators changing the air constantly. 
The building cost about $500,000, Spanish gold. No. 48 
is the depot or warehouse for the tobacco leaf, and Xo. 50 
is the factory. Tourists and tobacco dealers should not 
fail^ to visit this great Tobacco Exchange, as Messrs. 
Galixto Lopez & Co. will take pleasure in showing them 
their premises. 

The cigar factory of La Coeona, one of the oldest in 
Havana, was established in the year 1845 for the manu- 
facture of cigars and cigarettes. It has a univei-sal fame, 
and its products are highly esteemed by smokers the 
world over. The present proprietors, Mr. Segundo 
Alvarez and Mr. D. Perfecto F. Lopez, decided to make 
all the necessary outlays to place this factory on the 
highest industrial level by equipping it with all the 
necessary modern improvements. To attain this object 
they had to change their location, as the factory was too 
small for the growth of their business. They became 
the owners of the most beautiful and largest building in 
Havana, known as the Palacio de Aldama, situated in 
the most aristocratic quarter, and fronting on the great 
park Campo de Marte, as shown in the illustration. This 
immense building has been entirelv refitted, at an ex- 
pense of $50,000 gold, for the manufacture of cigars. 
The cigarette department has a large engine which fur- 
nishes power to a great number of machines of the most 
modern i3attern ; this factory has exclusive patents for 
their cigarettes, especially those known everywhere and 
called " Sport." Tourists visiting Cuba should visit the 
cigar and cigarette factory of La Corona, for they will 



122 



CUBA ILLUSTRATED.

123 



be agreeably surprised at the ingenuity and progress 
developed in the manufacture of those goods. The finest 
Yuelta Abajo tobacco leaf is solely used in the manufac- 
ture of their cigars and cigarettes. Travelers are cor- 
dially invited to visit this beautiful building. 

La Flor de Morales is situated on No. 127 Calzada 
Galiano, near the great town market. This factory was 
founded by the late Jose Morales, in the year 1845, and 
is continued under the same name by his son, Mr. Jose 
Morales. Tliis factory has received the highest award at 
the Antwerp Exposition. The brands manufactured by 
Jose Morales & Co. are familar to Americans, and are 
general favorites everywhere : '^ La Flor de Morales," 
'*La Matilde," and "Cuba Industrial." H. K. H. the 
Count of Flanders has favored the proprietors with the 
appointment as purveyors to his household. Mr. Jose 
Morales speaks English ; he will take special pleasure to 
show his factory to tourists, where they will always be 
welcomed.

Shopping in Havana. 



1Y5 



American ladies can roam at their sweet will in 
Havana just as they do in their own country ; they are 
admired for their independence and not criticised at all 
as many slanderous and exaggerated Cuban sketches 
mighit lead them to think. Among the first places they 
will want to see will be the store La Especial, in Obispo 
Street, No. 99 (the principal business street, and the 
finest in Havana). It has the greatest assortment of 
ians, bull-fight fans, silk fans, representing Cuban 
scenery ; also satin and lace fans at all prices, from 10 
cents to 300 dollars ; there is to be found also the finest 
assortment of gloves, umbrellas and parasols, all made at 
their own factory. The proprietor, Mr. Manuel (>arran- 
za, speaks English, and is most courteous and hospitable. 
Tourists are cordially invited to visit his store. 

Los EsTADOS Unidos, San Rafael Street corner Ga- 
liano ; La Habana, 95-97 Obispo Street, where the finest 
silks, Spanish mantillas and laces can be had at all prices ; 
Las Nikfas, 71 Obispo Street ; La Granada, 26 Obispo 
Street, are the names of the best Dry-Goods Stores. 
Laces, pine-apple cloth, Chinese goods, linens and all the 
light fabrics adapted to the climate, including silks, 
satins, etc., are to be found in a great variety, and the

latest novelties are here received by steamers from 
Europe. The proprietors of these stores will be honored 
by the visit of American tourists. 

No. 43 Obispo Street is the Wilson's American Book 
Store, where American and English newspapers, novels 
and periodicals are received by every mail. Photographs 
of Cuban scenery, guide books, stationery and drawing 
materials are kept on sale. 

Belot's Hidrotherapic Establishment was founded 
in 1873, at a cost of $120,000, Spanish gold. It has the 
necessary apparatus known to science as the methodical 
hidrotherapic treatment, such as the various showers, the 
hypogastric perineales, etc., etc., the steambox or Eussian 
baths, a great number of marble tanks for plain or artifi- 
cially prepared mineral baths, either alkaline, sulphurous 
iodide of iron, etc. Pleasure seekers and tourists should 
not fail to visit Doctor Belot's establishment, where they 
will most assuredly be welcomed. 

Tourists will be welcomed at all the establishments 
advertised in this Guide, whose proprietors will be glad 
to show them all the curios imported and made on the 
Island.

VOCABULARY. 



A few moments of leisure, consecrated daily to the study of 
this vocabulary, will be of good profit to American travelers 
unacquainted with the Spanish language. It is principally com- 
posed of those words and short phrases which convey the expres- 
sion for all immediate needs. 



A (a/i) in the Spanish language has but one sound, and 
is pronounced as the open English a in alarm. 

E {a or ay) is pronounced in Spanish as the English 
words bed., fed., red, etc. 

I in Spanish is sounded like the English e in eveft or i 
in idiotism. 

{oh) is pronounced in Spanish like the English o in 
not, lot or got J O in sea-charts signifies West. 

U {oo) in Spanish is sounded like the English word ooze; 
it loses its sound after q and g, and becomes a liquid, ex- 
cept where it is followed by an a, as in giiarisino, or when 
marked with a diaeresis, as in agilero, tmgiiento, etc., when it 
retains is proper sound. 

Y in the Castillian alphabet stands as a vowel and con- 
sonant ; y, when alone, or after a vowel, and followed by a 
consonant or at the end of a word, is a vowel, and sounds 
like the English e or ee, as Hoy y manana (To-day and to- 
morrow).

Spanish language, put 
yourself in the hands of 
the interpreters of hotels,

find a good way to live 
on the European plan : 
that is, to have a room in 
one place and get your 
meals at the restaurant
